Great place close to Crystal Beach

We stayed about a week. Great house has all the amenities for cooking, a screened in back porch to enjoy the evenings, a nice fire pit, kayaks to enjoy the water on. Close enough to get to just about anything in the Tampa area within an hour. Will definitely stay again.

Comfortable, clean, and plenty to do

This home was perfect for our family vacation. Well appointed with amenities, snacks, and kitchen utensils. Beach chairs were available, and we purchased and donated a beach umbrella for the visitors to use after during their stay. Games available for any nighttime family time or during rainy days. Beds seemed comfortable. 2nd guest room queen bed was firm with a softer top feel to it bedroom with single beds were firm with soft top as well. Master bedroom bed was neither soft nor firm according to my mother in law. The few issues we had initially upon arrival were readily addressed upon notification to our host. Beds were firm and comfortable

Respite from hurricane rebuild at home

We loved our stay at this home. We walked to the beach for the sunset, talked to some locals, enjoyed the fire pit, and appreciated the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Our host was very responsive and we look forward to returning!

Great location responsive hosts.

We loved the location and amenities at this property. They had everything we needed for a family beach vacation. We had so much fun on the screened porch in the evenings playing games and listening to tunes, even enjoyed some old records. We had an issue at check in with the cleaning done and the hosts responded immediately and took care of the issue. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is that it may need some maintenance done. It is a beautiful property but starting to show some wear. Overall we were pleased with our stay and would recommend it to others.

Best Beach House Ever!

I have stay in many beach houses. Some really nice and some not so nice, but this house is by far my favorite one so far. Nicely decorated, cold air, comfy beds. Several beaches close by. Our favorite was Honeymoon Beach. It wasn’t as crowded as Clearwater. We didn’t want the chaos that comes with a crowded beach. We went to Tarpon Springs and enjoyed the Greek food and took a dolphin cruise. It was fantastic! So if you are looking for a nice beach house in a quiet, friendly neighborhood this is it. Also has a screened in back porch which we loved sitting on at night. And cool lizards my granddaughter loved taking pictures of. ❤️

Clean unfussy great host and great location and amenities

Super clean unfussy bungalow with hot tub walking distance to pinellas trail and walking distance to water great for kayak and fishing. Bonfire pit is great in backyard. Host is highly responsive and helpful. Would rent again only downside is the mattresses could be a bit more comfortable other than that everything you need for a great vacation including an air fryer juicer kitchen tools you wouldn’t expect! Thanks for a great stay

Nice place to stay

Had a great stay here. Only a few suggestions. Towels could be bigger and the cleaner that they are using to clean has a bad smell. (We think that was what it was) But overall would definitely rent again!

Great place

We enjoyed our stay. Had all of the amenities that we needed. Recommend bigger bath towels though and the scent of the cleaner that is used to clean the place wasn’t pleasant. But these are minor issues. Would definitely book again!

Happy Holidays at Crystal Beach

We believe that the house was great and accessible to amenities. We, however, were four people in our eighties and think that an improvement would be to have dresser drawers in all three bedrooms, as per the #2 bedroom. Also in the main bedroom the TV position was a safety problem when having to get up in the night.. We also suggest larger bath towels would be nice. We enjoyed sitting outside and being able to use the screened in porch area. Thank you for a very nice stay at Catch the Breeze.

It was fine

Don’t get me wrong, the location and included amenities (kayaks and paddle boards) were great. The back area is also nice and we had a fun evening sitting and talking out there. There was a huge incomplete ceiling repair that unless I missed something, was not mentioned in the listing. There is a lot of aging in the kitchen with a leaky water dispenser and rust. To be fair, we didn’t make a stink about it because our stay was short. My brother did call in a faulty toilet during our stay though. The communications were good, and they were considerate. Overall, considering the space and location, it was fine, but we will consider other rentals on our next visit.
